§The competition of application development frameworks is the bane of those of us who have to figure out how to explain inherent potentials to managers tasked with getting new apps out the door. No one knows the future -- but Adobe's Integrated Runtime (AIR) is certainly on everyone's list as a strong contender.This book has a cookbook format which means it is full of examples that focus on the scenarios that will most likely provoke head-scratching and Googling by programmers tackling basic and not so basic tasks in AIR development. This book is for intermediate developers who already have a good working knowledge of the Flex tool and ActionScript or JavaScript.Chapters 1-2 impart basic dev environment setup tips.Chapters 3-15 provide solutions for file system, network, and database scenarios.Chapters 16-17 focus on distribution and install issues.There is also a bonus chapter which is online at the O'Reilly publisher site. This bonus chapter does a bit of AIR mashup to integrate some of the individual solutions found in the book.This is a solid book for keeping up with the times.§
This is a good starter book on Adobe AIR. It starts at the VERY beginning, explaining every point in the description files and what are their options. It builds precept upon precept. Then it shows you examples of completed code - PLUS the code can be downloaded from their website so you don't have to type it in yourself. Very nice.I liked the "state the problem, then show the solution" format of the book. It keeps the explanations uncluttered by extraneous details and since I haven't coded since 1986, that's exactly what I needed.
In the IT department, we purchase software, technical support books and hardware regularly for use and in order to further develope personal skills and provide support to our end users.
Covers both MXML/Actionscript and Javascript in the recipes. Good "How-To" book for either type of developer. Good to have on the shelf as a backup.
